Bohemian Pants with Denim Vest
There is a theme to some of my outfits this summer, and it is that they have a boho feel! I first shared these pants with a tan vest last year in this post, and this outfit has some similar vibes. Because the pants are so wide at the ankle, I like to have fitted or structured tops with it. The length also force me to wear high wedges with them, so I do not drag the pants on the ground. Today’s outfit turned out perfect for a mild day which was nice because otherwise the denim vest would have been too much. I found another occasion to wear my…

Weekend with My Racing Friends
Earlier this year, my friend Patricia suggested a Mother’s Day Weekend race with Atlanta Track Club. This race was to take place in Buckhead, in Atlanta and was to be 4 miles. 11 of us from our Saturday Sunrise running crew signed up and met for brunch afterwards. Patricia, her sister, my friend Gretchen (who I walk with and run with several times a week) decided to meet up the evening prior and go out to dinner and we stayed at nearby hotels. Gretchen and I shared a good laugh when I picked her up for our ride to Buckhead: we were dressed alike! It was really fun to have…

Bohemian White Maxi: 3 Outfit Ideas
I shared this skirt for the first time last month in an outfit I called bohemian dream. I have since worn it several times and have loved it each time. That is a confirmation that this fun maxi skirt was a good buy! Today, I am sharing 3 outfits that were inspired by some outfits I saw on Pinterest. With a Chambray Shirt I saw 2 outfits on Pinterest that featured a chambray and I liked both. I decided to first wear the skirt without a belt because I knew I would wear 2 outfits with belts for this blog post. I am so glad I am liking this thrifted…

Mother’s Day Outfit
We took my mom and dad out for Mother’s Day after church to the same restaurant we went to last year: La Cubana in Marietta. It’s just a few minutes from church, the food is good and the prices reasonable and there is a great mural for family pictures. While we waited for my parents, I had one of the boys take some blog pictures for me. I shared what I wore last year (here) and I wanted to wear something different this year. I chose this purple dress since I had not worn it in a while and I love the color and shimmery details. I shared it last…

2025 Northside Hospital Atlanta Womens 4 miler
The Women’s Northside 4 miler race is hosted by the Atlanta Track Club and these photos were free to download: I was excited for some good pictures and I will be printing some to add to one of my running photo albums. One of my running friends suggested this race earlier this year and a group of us decided to join her and run this 4 mile race in Atlanta. A few of us spent the night at a hotel (I will share those pictures next week) and had dinner the night prior, but all of us ran and then had brunch after the race. It was a wonderful time…

Spring and Summer Purses and Totes
I thought it would be fun to highlight some of the purses that I like to wear in spring and summer. I like to rotate them every couple of weeks as I have a lot of totes and purses that are cute for the warm months. In the winter and fall, I tend to wear a purse for about a month before I alternate it. Here are some recent thrifted finds followed by a couple favorites that I have had a little longer and were not thrifted. Thrifted Fringe Purse What a fun find! The bag is a loose macrame and is very well made. I got it for just …

Thrifted Corset Top 3 Ways
Today, I am sharing a corset top 3 Ways. I thrifted it last month when I was searching for cognac/caramel tone pieces to add to my closet. The price was right ($3) for something that I knew I could wear at least a couple of different ways. When I shared my outfit on my Instagram stories, Jodie reached out to me to collaborate on a blog post featuring different ways to wear a corset top and here is the link to her post. I thought it would be fun to see how I could wear it and it was definitely something I had to experiment with. I had 2 outfit…

Graphic Tees for Spring and Summer
After styling a graphic tee last month for our Ageless style link up post, I was inspired to pull out my graphic tees and wear them with a variety of pieces in my closet. None of these combinations are new, but I did try to style them in ways I had not before. Here are outfits I wore a couple weeks ago. Inspired by Marsha I was inspired by Marsha’s Ageless Style post last month to put this look together. It is such an easy outfit to recreate as most of us have a white tee and a denim skirt in our closet. My skirt here is actually a thrifted…

Black and White with the Ageless Style Link Up
This month’s theme for the Ageless Style Link Up is black and white. I love this classy combination and have worn it several times as you will see at the end of the post. Since I had not worn this black, white and gold tunic in quite a while, I decided it was time for it to reappear on the blog. I think I have had for about 10 years and I think the cut and colors make it a timeless piece. It is nice and stretchy, so it has worked for me when my weight has fluctuated. Pairing it with white keeps it a fresh spring or summer look…
